Traveling to Costa Rica in March, what is a good car rental company and what is the best way to book from the US? I would like to see the contract and entire cost including all the insurance(s) as well as any holds on the credit card prior to final booking.
Thanks!

We have used National Car Rental twice, and their website has all the info you are asking for. If you use a credit card, and it covers your insurance, you can decline the CDW and just go with SLC. Their vehicles are top notch. They do put a hold on your credit card while you have the car.
We've used Tricolor http://www.tricolorcarrental.com/ 4 times (will be our 5th time next week), always a good experience.
We're using Wild Rider this weekend, very easy to deal with and up front about pricing and insurance.
I always use Dollar Rent a Car, try to contact Diego hoteles@dollarcostarica.com. He always provides quotes with insurance and taxes, no hidden fees, very good english!!!
I always use Costa Rica Special Deals, they always provide good services and they really understand our needs... here is the link : http://costaricaspecialdeals.com/car-rental.html
